It's a Sunday and the first day of September, meaning there's a full slate of baseball goodness -- 16 games in all, thanks to a day-night doubleheader between the Reds and Cardinals.

The biggest storyline from the day was Justin Verlander throwing his third career no-hitter. This, like his no-no in 2011, came in Toronto against the Blue Jays. You can read more about that here, and check out where Verlander ranks in history by clicking here.

As for non-Verlander storylines worth monitoring, those included Eugenio Suarez hitting his 40th home run and Sean Manaea returning from shoulder surgery to make his first start in over a year.

Baseball schedule/scores for Sunday, September 1


Verlander throws third no-hitter

Justin Verlander dominated the Blue Jays on Sunday, as we noted in the introduction, tossing his third-career no-hitter. Verlander fanned 14 batters and allowed just one to reach -- that coming on a walk to Cavan Biggio, the second hitter of the game for Toronto.

Ford's walk-off homer caps Yankees comeback win 

With Luke Voit making his return from the injured list as the Yankees everyday first baseman, fellow first baseman Mike Ford is seeing less playing time. On Sunday, he sat out for the second time in three days. But in the bottom of the ninth, Ford pinch-hit, and drove a 3-2 pitch over the wall, becoming the first Yankees rookie to ever hit a pinch-hit walk-off home run. Here's more on Sunday's memorable at-bat from the Yankees rookie.

Suarez hits 40th homer

Reds third baseman Eugenio Suarez hit his 40th home run on Sunday, becoming the first player in franchise history to reach that mark since Adam Dunn did it in 2007.

The franchise record belongs to George Foster, who homered 52 times in 1977. Suarez is unlikely to threaten that, but with four weeks to go he could conceivably challenged the top-five -- Greg Vaughn and Johnny Bench are tied for fifth with 45 home runs.

Suarez, originally acquired as part of a package in exchange for Alfredo Simon, had previously topped out at 34 home runs. He's since developed into a high-quality player, having posted a 124 OPS+ since 2017. 

Manaea returns from shoulder surgery

On Sunday, Sean Manaea made his first start in the majors since undergoing shoulder surgery last September. He fared well, too, holding the Yankees to one hit and no runs over five innings.  

Manaea threw 58 fastballs on 82 pitches, with his heater checking in at 90.8 mph on average. Last season, he averaged 90.4 mph on his fastball. Manaea recorded five swinging strikes on the fastball, with an additional two coming on his slider -- his best swing-and-miss pitch.

Obviously it's just one start, but if Manaea is able to return to his old form -- he had a 116 ERA+ through 27 starts in 2018 -- then he could be a difference-maker for the A's, who continue to claw for postseason positioning with Cleveland and the Rays.

Stat of the day: Corbin becomes third Nat to 200 strikeouts

Patrick Corbin topped 200 strikeouts on the season on Sunday, joining teammates Stephen Strasburg and Max Scherzer in the exclusive club. As a result, the Nationals became the first NL team in 50 years to have three pitchers with at least 200 punchouts.

Highlight of the day: Carrasco returns

Entering Sunday, it'd been more than three months since Carlos Carrasco appeared in a big-league game. Carrasco, who was diagnosed with Leukemia in June, was activated on Sunday morning and pitched out of the bullpen for Cleveland on Sunday afternoon was part of their loss against the Rays. You can read more about that here.
